You came back! That was the movement of the Holy Spirit. Now, after coming back, what is the next step?
Great to have you back. You are amongst friends when you are here. We each have struggled with the sins against purity. We each have experienced the hopelessness that can come from repeated, serious sins. However, we also know the power of prayer and the healing grace it brings. Welcome! I look forward to being inspired by your thoughts and your struggle for freedom from this sin. I have found freedom from it and I can testify it is possible for all of us to obtain and it is sweet.
Is there something in particular that makes your struggle difficult? I know for me things started to change when I sought counseling. Learning more about the science behind addiction was a huge eye-opener. Then I became more attuned to the effects of trauma in my life. Because of this experience, I understand more clearly how human nature and grace cooperate to build us up.
